I found this extremely revealing....although it is only one person's opinion.

My Ob/Gyn and I have interesting conversations while he visits my nether regions...I would be mortified if it were total silence.

He is an amazing man, and I adore him.

I had some issues awhile back. I looked to to him for answers. However...I provided the questions. He was and is of the mentality knowledge is power. He anticipated some of my questions, but I took it a step further and asked more probing inquiries...pun intended.

You all know me by now, and I always learn something in whatever I engage in.
We started talking about the fact that I DO ask a lot of questions.
Dr. F. told me that is his method of doctoring...to make it a joint effort with the patient. Perhaps this is one reason we click.
He said the Hispanic women want nothing to do with asking questions...they just want *things to be taken care of*...in other wards..."Do what you have to do...and let me know when you are done".

...now to me....THAT is scary. It is very uncomfortable for my Doctor also...
